DUMPLINS'
For Chicken or Squirrel
1 fat stewing hen
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 can Carnation milk
Extra flour for rolling out and thickening

Cook the chicken in boiling, salted water until done. Remove chicken from broth; cover with foil to keep it from drying out.

Put 4 cups flour and 2 teaspoons salt into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour Carnation milk into the well a little at a time, mixing it into flour until you get it all mixed in and have a ball of dough....not too stiff and not too soft. Roll dough out on a floured board. Cut into strips and drop into boiling broth for about 11-12 min. Mix about 1/3 cup water with 4 tablespoons flour in a shaker and shake until smooth. Add this to the broth and mix in. Add a drop or 2 of yellow food coloring to this....not too much! Add lots of black pepper. Stir gently and simmer until the broth is thickened and the raw flour taste is all gone. Slice the chicken and serve

Litterbox Cookies
Sent in by own very own Charlotte Guthrie

There are two flavors: chocolate and gingerbread. The cookies are dense and not very sweet. This is necessary so that they will keep their shape during baking. If you use white flour or sugar they may be tastier but they won't look like the real thing.

Chocolate ingredients:

1/2 cup honey
2/3 cup (1 and 1/3 stick) butter or margarine
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla or peppermint extract
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
grape-nuts(tm) cereal

Gingerbread ingredients:

1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
2/3 cup(1 and 1/3 stick) butter or margarine
1 egg
2 and 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
spices-ginger, cinnamon, cloves to taste(maybe 1/2 tsp each)
grape-nuts(tm) cereal

Mix-ins:

coconut
chocolate chips
butterscotch chips
peanut butter chips

Microwave the honey till it bubbles (about 1 minute). Add the butter, and the molasses, if any. Add the egg, mix well, then mix in all the other stuff. Add mix-ins of your choice to some or all of the batter. Chill 1 hour in the freezer or several hours in the fridge. Roll dough logs of random length and the diameter of cat poops. Roll logs in grape- nuts and bake at 350 degrees till done (10 to 15 minutes).

Serve in a disposable cat litter box on a bed of grapenuts, with a cat litter scoop. You get lovely effects by decorating the box and scoop with melted chocolate, pudding, brownie mix, etc., and by tinting the grapenuts pale green with colored powdered sugar. Also try scattering plastic flies around the table.
